Start wherever you like, you'll only end up where you started in the end

hyahahahahah

wow, I wonder if Tyson's confidence was from real knowledge of his "power" or whatever it was he could do, or just from mere stupidity and the "blin blin" he had.

Pick the latter.

>>9414395
Hah, gotcha there. Familiar to his theories i see.

>>9414355
Start where he's easiest. He repeats himself frequently dont worry

>>9414536
Well, then where is this "easiest" of his?

Beyond Good and Evil and the Geneaology.
They're actually extremely deep, and truly deserve multiple readings and contemplation, still they're extremely entertaining.
Nietzsche was a great stylist, his prose is lively, witty and profound: I'm pretty sure you'll appreciate it.
The last books you should read are, in this order, The Gay Science (interesting as fuck, but very long and at times pretty hard to follow), Thus Spoke Zarathustra (his most complete work: start with this only if you already know how to read analytically and poetically philosophy) and Will to Power (every other book before this one was more or less a different point of view of TSZ, Will to Power is instead part of a new project, the reevaluation of all values, that Nietzsche never got to finish)

Read them once, put them down and reread them in a few years from now. Meanwhile study the Greeks.

I will. These are the types of answers I love in 4chan, thank you, sir.

>>9414874
Why this order?

Also, this Will to Power was never even started. Nietzsche wrote a few different outlines for it, and then his sister just used journal material to fill in one of those outlines. It's a pastiche non-book and should only be read with a keen awareness of the fact that it was cobbled together by other from rejects, experiments, and drafts.

To OP: if you're committed to reading Nietzsche's corpus, read it in chronological order. If not, I still recommend chronological order: Human ATH, Gay Science, Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Genealogy, Twilight of the Idols, Antichrist, and Ecce Homo are the essentials.

If you insist on picking one or two books, this poster's recommendations (BGE & GM) are ideal.

>>9415080
Then I'll try reading Human ATH, and then the Genealogy.

I've been yearning for a long time to read Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but hell, I'm afraid I won't get shit.

Thanks to you too, man.

BGE is a more structured version of TSZ: it's comprehensive of his entire philosophy. The Geneaology deals with some of its aphorisms, expanding them into 3 treatises.

I've explained the second order. The Gay Science is extremely long and it's not propedeutic to any of his other books, therefore he can wait before reading it. Thus Spoke Zarathustra is his most difficult book, he should deal with it after having internalized every other Nietzsche's idea. Will to Power, being something new, should be read after everything else in his ouvre.

Modern editions of Will to Power are assembled by other academics using Nietzsche's autographs: what you're saying may have been true 80 years ago. If you're criteria for suspicion is the fact that he never released it, then you should avoid Ecce Homo and the Antichrist too, and be very skeptical of Twilight of the Idols, which was authorized to be published when Nietzsche was on the brink of insanity (Semptember 1889).

Also Will to Power is absolutely necessary to understand many of the monographies about Nietzsche the 2 most important being the Heidegger's and Deleuze's ones.
